Iran rejects reports that the United States could use Iranian assets to compensate regional allies for damages tied to the war in the region. In a statement on X, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says regional governments are “not in a position to demand reparations” and that Iran’s assets are “neither war spoils for Washington nor a payment fund for its allies.”
The comments respond to reporting that Washington might draw on Iranian assets to pay for war-related damage allegedly suffered by U.S. partners in the region. Iran’s position is presented as a direct denial of the premise that its assets could be redirected for such compensation.
The sources also provide context on Iran’s military posture in the region, noting that during the conflict Iran has carried out missile and drone attacks on several Gulf countries, describing them as targeting U.S. and Israeli interests. None of the sources provide evidence that the U.S. plan has been implemented; they focus instead on Iran’s refusal to accept the reported idea and its broader stance toward reparations demands.
